No. They aren't rules. They are contract terms to which you agree when you purchase a ticket. If you don't like the law, that's tough. If you don't like the terms on which a service is offered, don't purchase it. Don't give it a moment's further thought and move on.
Remember, the downside of regulation was that there were basically two fares: F & Y. Then a couple of specialty fares such as round-trips and the like. Baggage allowance was 66 poounds in F and 40 in Y.
But, no fixed (not changeable/refundable). So, no games worth playing, no hidden city, nested and the like.
